How Do I Get Ansible To Reuse Connections, Enable Kerberized Ssh, Or Have Ansible Pay Attention To My Local Ssh Config File? |
|
Answer» Switch your default connection type in the configuration file to ‘ssh’, or use ‘-c ssh’ to use Native OpenSSH for connections instead of the python paramiko library. In Ansible 1.2.1 and later, ‘ssh’ will be used by default if OpenSSH is new enough to support ControlPersist as an option. Paramiko is great for starting out, but the OpenSSH type OFFERS many advanced options. You will want to run Ansible from a machine new enough to support ControlPersist, if you are using this connection type. You can STILL manage older clients. If you are using RHEL 6, CENTOS 6, SLES 10 or SLES 11 the version of OpenSSH is still a bit old, so consider managing from a Fedora or openSUSE CLIENT even though you are managing older nodes, or just use paramiko. We keep paramiko as the default as if you are first installing Ansible on an EL box, it offers a better experience for new users.
